無礼な。。。

食い終わったら、さっさと帰れよ」と店の行列に立っている一人の子連れのオッサンに言われた。

腹が立った。

あいつはたぶん「この外人日本語知らねぇだろう」ときっと思っていた。

ケンカ売ってんじゃねよ、バカヤロウ」と返した。

自分の声はそんなに大きいとは思わなかった。

周りの客の視線が俺に集中していた。

あいつは体を壁に付けて聞いていないフリをしていた。

口がデカイ女々しいオッサンだった。 

なんだよ。

でも、もう遅い。

俺は感じの悪い外人だと見られていた。

あいつの子供の目と合った。

なぜ怒ったのか、忘れた。

子供は俺を怖そうに見ていた。

一番無礼なのはだと気付いた。

俺が黙っておけば、良かったのに。

大人気ない行動に大反省

年末のテレビ番組

日本の年末のテレビ番組は本当に空っぽで、くだらなすぎると、いつも思っている。

今年も同じだ。

残念!

良い年お越しをするには日本のテレビを見ない方がいいといつも思う。

っていうか、今テレビ(ラジカルッ)見てるけど、女子アナが歌っている。

視聴者をバカにしてるのか?

そして、おっぱいの大きいグラビア・アイドルの出番。 that's so fucking low.

こんなゴミは何が面白い?

あのロリコン東国原知事もなぜこのくだらない番組に出てるのかな?

っていうか、くだらない、くだらないと言ってるのに、ずっとテレビ見てる俺はもう最低のhypocriteだ。

can't stop watching movies !!!

March of the Penguin – 8.0

This is the best animal documentary I’ve ever seen yet. Interesting; sometimes funny and sometimes sad. Brilliant and entertaining the whole way through..

Fly Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – 8.5

The starting point of jack nicholson’s awesome career as a grade A actor. Each character was interesting and the story was engaging and fun! The music was brilliant too!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force – 1.0

I couldn’t even finish watching this piece of crap. Bad animation, bad storyline, bad voice acting, bad jokes and boring characters. Stay away from this crap.

Dynamite Warrior – 5.0

Another marshal arts movie from Thailand. The stunts were pretty average when compared to the materials that tony jaa has produced. A pretty bad tony jaa wannabe movie.

American Gangster – 8.0

Another great performance by denzel washington and russel crowe. Although the story was good, it was not amazing enough to be classified as a great movie. Nevertheless, a good movie over all.

Shinjuku Triad Society – 7.0

The story was very interesting but the lack of quality in the acting department and the bad pacing of the movie kinda ruined the experience. A lot of shocking scenes too; this is a takashi miike’s film anyways so it was expected.

Pixar Short Films Collection – 8.0

It’s really interesting to watch the early works from the genius people of pixar. They seem to know how to put life in a 3d model right from the beginning!

Old School – 8.0

vince vaughn, will ferrell and luke wilson. All in one funny movie. Recommended.

A Mighty Heart – 8.2

Based on the true story about the wife of the American reported who got beheaded in Pakistan. Angelina Jolie did a great job by being a believable, and distressed but strong woman. Quite awesome.

Sakuran – 7.9

This film is a must watch just because kanno miho, kimura yoshino and tsuchiya anna got some really awesome sex scenes in it. Ok, besides that, the film is like a box of chocolate wrapped in colourful plastic paper. It’s very beautiful and pretty to look at. Unfortunately, the pacing was quite weird and that holds it from becoming a great movie.

Bourne Ultimatum – 8.3

It’s a bourne movie, what do you expect? The action scenes were very well done and it’s an entertaining action movie over all. The last part of the movie was quite boring though.

Outlaw – 7.5

The film feels original and pretty generic, all at the same time. Still a good action/thriller/suspense movie though. It just feels like something is missing and I don’t know what it is….

Surf’s Up – 8.0

Unexpectedly entertaining! A 3d animated movie about a young penguin who dreams about being a pro-surfer. Fun!

Not Another Teen Story – 8.4

This is a classic! A real 3-tonne-hammer crushing, slap-on-the-face on all the other generic teen movies out there. Funny, interesting and very easy to watch. Had a great time watching this.

Superbad – 8.8

Really, really funny movie about 3 teenagers who thinks about sex too much and tries too hard to become of one the cool guys. Some of the dialogs are down right disgusting and absolutely hilarious. This is the funniest comedy movie of the year 2007 no doubt. or maybe not because sometimes i felt like Knocked Up is better. Whatever, just watch both movies and get ready to laugh. Highly recommended.

Hairspray – 8.5

I hate musicals. But I love this one! Awesome songs and dance movies! A very fun movie to watch. Makes you want to dance baby!

Harold and Kumar Goes to White Castle8.0

Another comedy classic. Be silly and enjoy this ridiculous movie.

Black Hawk Down – 9.0

Another great and entertaining American propaganda movie that celebrates the coolness of war and the great will of the people of America to impose democracy on other people. Seriously, this is a superbly done war movie. Action movies at it's prime time yeah !!!

The Art of Seduction – 8.2

Damn this Korean romantic comedy movie is so cute and funny! Although the plotlines were dumb and unrealistic, try to leave your serious hat behind and just sit and relax, this is an entertaining movie to watch.

Rescue Dawn – 8.4

Based on the story about an American pilot who was shot down in Vietnam while he was busy dropping bombs killing children and innocent civilians. It was a very engaging and interesting movie the whole way through.

Good Luck Chuck – 8.2

jessica alba is very funny in this one. I don’t know that she can act this good! A fun movie the whole way through.

Van Wilder 2 – 7.0

I seriously think this one is going to suck hard, but it doesn’t. Watchable; and there ARE some funny moments in the movie.

Captivity – 7.0

A SAW wannabe? Maybe. elisha curhbert was awesome in this movie but the predictable story and lack of horrifying scenes makes this horror movie, not so horrifying.

Planet Terror – 8.0

This is the shit I’m talking about! Hot babes. Zombies getting blown off. People screaming in pain. Gore. Fucking disgusting zits. And most importantly, a m4 carbine assault rifle on a red head stripper! Awesomeness is real in this movie.

Garden State7.0

I think this movie put zach braff on the map. Pretty relaxing movie as the pacing was slow with some weird funny moments. Part mysterious, part weirdly comical.

Dragon Wars – 6.5

This is the most expensive Korean movie. And sadly, it sucked. Awesome CGI and special effects aside, the story was laughable and there were tons of stupid plot holes that make it hard to enjoy this movie. The CGI do look awesome though. But why oh why is the story and the acting so fucking dumb?

Street Thief – 8.5

A work of an evil genius. Follow the journey of a self proclaimed professional street thief. Forget about every other conventional movie you have ever seen, this movie is full of original style and balls. This is what we call an experimental project that results in success! Must watch!

Death of a President – 8.5

Just awesome. A movie done in documentary style about the assassination of gerge w bush and what could happen if such marvelous incident really happened. Believable and very smart. Watch this !!!

Children of the Corn – 7.0

A pretty generic horror movie, I guess. And I still don’t understand the ending.

Accepted – 7.0

Another generic comedy movie aimed at teenagers. There were some funny moments here and there, but there is absolutely nothing special about this movie.

SAW 4 – 7.2

This film is so fucking confusing. As always, the gore and the violence was awesome, but where goes the simplicity from the first movie that made it awesome in the first place? The autopsy scene was horribly terrific. Everyone in the movie theatre was like ‘”holy shit am I watching this for real?”. I think it is time for them to stop milking this once great series, and move on to the more original stuff.

The Uchoten Hotel – 8.9

An extremely well done Japanese comedy. Each character has memorable personality and it's own back story, and the director did a pretty good job to tie them together. High quality comedy from japan. There is not a single scene in the movie that was boring. This is how you do funny in a smart way. Highly Recommended.

Kamikaze Girls (下妻物語) – 8.0

This movie defines style! The acting was not so good but the whole atmosphere of the movie was weird and interesting! Fun! Ohh the colours! The tsuchiya anna - fukada kyoko combination might NOT be the best thing that ever happened in japanese cinema, but both of them are pleasing to the eyes in this movie. fukada kyoko did nothing new with her character in this movie; while tsuchiya anna really looks like a badass in this one.

Amelie From Montmarte – 9.0

This is the best french film that I have ever saw. Please go get this movie and watch it. It’s funny, it’s mysterious and it’s fun! A story about a very naive and weird girl who one day decided to do something that could change other people's life, and enjoy the experience and finally find love in the same time. You really felt attached to the main character and wants to support her journey! A must watch!

The Diary of A Tired Black Man – 8.5

Very interesting documentary/movie about the dilemma ‘good’ African-American are facing with their partners.

Resident Evil: Extinction – 7.5

The action and special effects is definitely better than the last two movies; but it still doesn’t do the great video game (in which this movie is based on) any justice. Not scary at all. Milla Jovovich, on the other hand, kicks ass. Zombie Ass.

Premonition – 7.3

Surprisingly an OK movie, keeps you interested the whole way through. Very interesting storylines. I didn’t doze off when I saw this so it must be not so bad. Sandra Bullock started to look old though.

Blades of Glory – 7.2

Overall a funny movie, but not the best Will Ferrell funny flick ever created. The Will Ferrell-Jon Heder (from Napolean Dynamite) combination was not bad, but it was not that successful either. Still managed to crack me up. Quite a disappointment though.

The Kingdom – 8.8

Another great thriller starring Jamie Foxx. This is how you do a good action movie, Hollywood textbook style. When a group of terrorists attacked a US residence in Saudi Arabia, a group of FBI agents were sent to investige the incident and with the help of Saudi police officers, they swore to find and take the culprit down. Made Ashraf Barhom known to the world. Highly Recommended.

Rush Hour 3 – 7.9

It’s sad to see your hero getting old. Jackie Chan performed outstanding action sequences in this one, despite his age. It's definitely not his best, and you will notice him being not as fast as he used to be, but he IS Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan will always kicks ass. Chris Tucker never failed to be as funny as ever; but sadly, this is the worst movie of the series, with Rush Hour 1 being the best. With that said, if you love the Rush Hour series, this third installment is a must watch!

City of God9.5

GO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW!!! This has got to be one of my favourite movies of all time. It’s that good. The story of 2 friends who grew up into 2 very different people, one a photographer and one a drug dealer. Brutal, gritty, violent, full of emotions and absolutely amazing! GO SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW!!!

Busy Week As Always

Ok. Not always. But I’m still been very busy this week. First and foremost, I got exams and I don’t know how many times I have written in here that I despise exams. While being occupied by exams, I had to figure out this ridiculously tedious and difficult experiment and try to write a sensible report when I have no idea what the hell went during the experiment. The calculation was very long and tediously stupid. It’s a good thing that they sold energy drinks at the nearest konbini.

On Wednesday it snowed like white hell, you can’t really see anything 5 meters ahead. And that day is also the day where I got my new kerosene heater. But I got a problem. I got no kerosene! So I dared the heavy snow in search for kerosene, and not long after that, my room is warm with heat from my new shiny kerosene heater!

The next day I went out surveying several available apartments because I have to get out from the university’s foreign student dormitory next year. Went to several good ones, and several bad ones; and in the end we (me and zarul) had found the perfect apartment. Good mortgage fees, not so very far from the university, beautiful tatami floorings and kind landlords helped us made the decision to choose that apartment.

On Thursday, I was invited to this meeting to discuss and give out opinions about how to better the university’s library. Well, of course the main reason that I agreed to participate in this meeting was for the food. And it’s an easy meeting. All I got to do is bad mouth the university’s library system, and I got fed with sweet tasting berry cake. It’s always about the food. Always.

Before that though, I was invited to another party by another stranger. This time, the stranger was a Japanese retiree who lived in pulau pinang for 3 years. He said the party is for celebrating the fifth year of the establishment of his海外浪漫倶楽部. Err that translates to something like this: Romantic Overseas Club. Yeah. The name was awesome.

So I was supposed to represent Malaysia. He also said that he invited another foreigner, a thai medical student to represent Thailand; but she refuses to join because her Japanese was not so good thus not having the confidence to attend such parties. So the Japanese guy asked me to PERSUADE her to come; by telling her that language is not a problem because I could be her translator and help her communicate and stuff. The thai girl lives just 2 doors away from my room, so trying to contact was not a problem.

But I was wrong. Every time I knock on her door, she was not there. I tried 3 days to contact her but in vain. I started to think that this girl does not live there anymore. And I started to remember some scenes from the horror thai film nang nak. I don’t know why. So several days passed by, and just 2 hours before the Japanese retiree came to pick me up for the party, at last I got hold of the mysterious thai girl. So I asked her to come with me to the party. And she was surprised. And she started to talk. Very fast. Man, she talks A LOT.

Now I know the reason why she doesn’t want to join the party. It’s not about her Japanese language abilities. It’s because she thought that the Japanese retiree was a dirty old pervert! In Japanese we say it スケベおやじ (sukebe oyaji). So she told me that she first met the oyaji when he knock on her door one day, telling her about his travels in thailand and how he loves Thailand, and he would like to be friends with thai people and stuff.

So she told her research partners and professors at the university about this oyaji, but her professor was being suspicious about this oyaji so he made some background check up on him. And it turned out to be that he was giving her some suspiciously incorrect information about his work place; when the professor called the place, the people there does not recognise this person. And that makes her scared so she asked her professor to talk to this oyaji and refuse politely from this offer to join him in the (also) suspiciously named ‘romance club’ party. And she thought she was the only foreigner invited. Even after refusing to join the party, the now suspicious oyaji phoned her cell phone several times. She was afraid, so she never answers the phone. And now because she does not answer the phone, the oyaji asked me to persuade her because I live so close to her.

Of course the oyaji could just come up to her room again and persuade her himself, but that would be very dangerous for him because last year, there was a case of another oyaji who harassed some Korean girls living in the dormitory, and the dormitory suddenly became more aware of pervert old Japanese men who wants some foreigner’s ass and tits. Tits and ass. I don’t know which one comes first.

But now she knew that I was coming too, she said that she would surely agree to join the party because she felt safer. That’s a nice thing to hear. Although it’s been clear now, I started to worry. What if this oyaji is a real pervert? I mean a mean fucking pervert machine? I don’t want to end up being raped by a group of old Japanese men! I want to be raped by a group of multicultural troupe of nurses and kindergarten teachers. Hmm, did I say something wrong there?

Anyways, the oyaji came and picked me up right on time. The thai girl already have other plans so she is not going. I wished I could’ve contacted her earlier. Anyways, in the car, I was praying. Oh please keep my ass hole from intruding vintage penises.

And thank God. The party is a legit one. There was no orgy. There was neither semen nor blood flowing. I forgot. These people are old! They have no semen left! Silly me!

I have never attended a party where the youngest female is 65 years old. I can tell you this; a party without young girls is a tedious and boring one. With that said, the party was still a uniquely weird experience. During the duration of the party, sometimes they invited some random club members to take the stage and gave a speech. The contents of these speeches were… weird and sad to say the least. In a nut shell, all of the speech given could be translated to this: “Come on my fellow retirees! Let us take care of our health and live longer; don’t give up on your life and find something interesting to do while waiting for your coffin to be ready.” There was also one shocking speech in which this already very drunk oyaji went up the stage to tell the whole members that 2 of their members tried to commit suicide last month. One succeeded, while the other failed miserably. That’s fucked up.

Of course I was invited to make a speech, but what can I say to these old people? To hold on and don’t die yet? I thought I was a good public speaker and am more than able to talk about any topic, but this is just too alien for me. I managed to crack only one joke. That’s pretty horrible. But each success was supported by failures right?

When the food arrived on the table, I was prepared and ready. There were tempuras. Gulatan awabi, which is DELICIOUS. Grilled shrimp. Sashimi and a bunch of other Japanese food I have no idea what the name was. I was really focused on eating as much as I could because the dinner looks very expensive. And one by one, came club members offering to pour sake (Japanese rice wine) into my glass. And every time, I have to refuse politely. And when they asked why, I almost jokingly answer it like this: I don’t drink alcohol; I drink the blood of infidels instead because I’m a jacket-bomb strapping terrorist muslim hahaha! Of course, being a polite society-person, I politely said it was a personal principle.

Unexpectedly, it was a pretty intense party. I was busy trying to get all this delicious food into my mouth while being an interpreter to the other non-japanese speaking foreigners they invited while at the same time trying to answer questions from drunk Japanese retirees about Malaysia. I talked a lot, and of course with food in all over and inside my mouth.

Party’s over and I was safely returned to the dormitory. My anus was not invaded, and I was not group-raped so I guess it was a successful evening.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Before attending the party, I went to an orchestra performance show by the akita university’s ‘orchestra’ troupe. It was awesome. I was really impressed with their skills and the pure harmony they have engineered together. Awesome. 吹奏楽団の皆さん!感動させてくれた分、ありがとう!お前らはすごい!

It was a busy week, but a rich one.
